Due attention is to be paid while concluding contracts

Gazprom Export (a 100% owned subsidiary of Gazprom) informs that in accordance with Russian law, it is the only exporter of natural gas that belongs to Gazprom Group abroad, and it does not engage any Russian and foreign businesses/individuals as intermediaries in negotiating and concluding contracts.

Recently, cases of illegal actions under the name and corporate identity of Gazprom Export LLC have increased. From January 2019, a group of unidentified persons sends out commercial offers pretending to be on behalf of Gazprom Export LLC, and inviting potential buyers to a “mutually beneficial cooperation”. In those offers, the interested companies are invited to sign contracts with a 100%-advance payment clauses.

Fraudsters tend to include the proper details of our company in the contracts they draft, and they often provide the publicly available copies of the real incorporation documents of our company, like Statute or tax registration certificate.

Fraudsters communicate per phone or email and use a number of reasons to avoid any personal contact. They compose their emails in Russian and/or English, using the general facts on Gazprom Export available on open sources. With this, they replace certain details with the fake telephone numbers or email addresses, and falsified signatures of company management.

Among other, fraudsters tend to use phone numbers with Moscow or St. Petersburg dialing codes like

and the web domain export-gazprom.ru (with email addresses sales@export-gazprom.ru, info@export-gazprom.ru, exp@export-gazprom.ru and others alike), as well as addresses export@gpn-export.ru, export@mrggazprom.ru, requests@gazpromlpg.spb.ru, or info@mrggazprom.ru.

Gazprom Export LLC kindly asks you to be careful when entering into the commercial mail exchange and contractual relations with companies that use contact details similar to ours.

We would like to stress, especially for Russian entities, that Gazprom Export LLC carries out trade operations exclusively for exports (to the foreign-based companies). Any offers pretending to be on behalf of our company, and suggesting supplies within Russian Federation, are therefore reasonably suspicious.

ATTENTION! Please note that since February 2019, the company with the similar name LLC Gazprom Export, tax number 7729717374, with Marcel Rinatovich Galyautdinov as general director, is active in Russia. This company is in no way related neither to Gazprom Export nor Gazprom Group. Before, the above company was known under the name ‘VIP Arbat LLC’.

In order to take timely legal measures against individuals and legal entities, wrongly offering the export of natural gas or other products for sale on behalf of our company, please inform about the dubious proposals by e-mail to adnotam@gazpromexport.gazprom.ruor by fax:+7 (812) 646 1415.
